This Android app locker makes sure that all your apps and media files remain private, so that no one else can have a peek into them. The app supports two password modes: Pattern Lock and Classic Lock (Number lock).
Apart from just locking apps, you can also use this app to hide your photo and videos. The app lets you hide photos, videos individually or even by making folders.
The other cool feature of the app is Re-lock, which means that you can set a time interval after which app will be locked again, even if you have opened the app after drawing the pattern.
Note: The app also has a feature called Fake Cover which displays a fake message that App Has Crashed when you will launch any app. This is a paid feature and is limited to 1 app in the free version. If you specifically want this feature, then you can try Lockdown Pro app that provides this feature for free.
